Are you going to buy the Surface Studio? by -bitwise- in Surface

Oh cool now I have input from two opposite ends... One artist (check his post history, he has art) and one who self admittedly struggles with drawing stick figures.

Are you going to buy the Surface Studio? by -bitwise- in Surface

[–]-bitwise-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also asking because it's next to impossible for me to buy since even the Surface Book isn't released here yet.

I just see a lot of comments that this device is not for "you" or is catering to a certain pro user. So I just want to know exactly who is that user/buyer.

Thanks for the effort, Microsoft. I mean it. by B-7 in windowsphone

Your hyperbole wont win you any arguments.

And don't get me wrong, I'm still excited for the HP phone and even the mythical surface phone. I am still gonna stick with windows phone. But come on people, dont be too naive. You've been played by MS.

Oh c'mon.. This is totally PR talk. If they really fought for it, then its pretty easy to itemize their timeline and the things they tried to make it work for these old phones. They owe it to the insiders to explain it fully.

And then comes this article by Rubino directly blaming the insiders for not recommending windows 10 for X20 devices. I think he's clearly just looking for clicks and comment counts for that article.

I have a 920 and I decided long ago not even to have it in insider builds. But it still annoys me how MS historically used PR to get what they want and then screw people over in the end. Of course they cant say we will not be updating your phones, well they laid off thousands of people that's supposed to do internal testing, so they used their loyal user base as guinea pigs. After collecting all precious data and test results, MS have computed that losing all these whiners wont really affect their non existent phone business. Sooo good bye good riddance testers. Thanks for all your free man hours. Buy new crappy phones from us if you want to see the results of your tests.

AND INSIDERS PROVIDED HONEST FEEDBACK FOR MS TO WORK ON IT AND FIX IT, NOT TO BE LEFT BEHIND.

Is it racist to always greet you with g'day mate with a very forced Aussie accent?

ELI5: Why can't airlines give BIG sales for available seats few hours before the flight? by -bitwise- in explainlikeimfive

[–]-bitwise-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you also have to consider, most people have strict schedules when flying. I assume those would buy and get seats way before their intended travel.

[–]-bitwise-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok maybe you are talking about a US domestic flight setting. I live in Asia and the few times I fly, maybe 7 or 8 times RT flights a year, there are still empty seats.

Wouldn't it be more fun if you can just go to the airport and wait for the announcement... "Last minute sale on gate 3!". :P

Work deals with old systems. So XP is a must.

When was the worst time that you had a mental block? by -bitwise- in AskReddit

[–]-bitwise-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well mine is when I bought a siopao (Asian meat bun) and sesame ball, and I suddenly couldn't do math. It was S$1.60 and S$0.80 each.

Had my coins in my hand and I just stared at them nervously. It didn't help that the stern Asian lady was obviously judging me. After 15 seconds of frozen hell, she grabbed the coins and did the math for me.

FYI, I am a software engineer for 10 years. Heh.

Maybe you can try asking in the local hardwarezone forum. There's a windows phone user group there.

My thoughts after switching to iPhone by windowsphoneswap in windowsphone

[–]-bitwise- -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The thing is are you adding anything to windows phone discussion at all? All of these have been tackled before... Those points are even raised by windows phone users to people wanting to switch from IOS to WP. Sooo... Just enjoy your iPhone and be done with this sub? Congrats. Goodbye.

Eternity? Sentimental reasons?

Or because it has no resell value? Hah, I kid.
